Charred or Bunt?

Flipping on the broiler for the final minute of baking a pizza is a great way to ensure that crust gets nice and dark, the cheese gets that perfect melt, and the pepperoni gets nice and crisp.

But you have to be careful using the broiler method because at that high and direct heat things change fast! If you don’t like a dark crust like this, you won’t be broiling long!

The higher the heat, the higher the risk of a burnt pizza - but just remember, if you burn it just call it New Haven Apizza and charge double for it! 🤣

A huge thank you to 1120 Creative Keith Perks for shooting our class this Sunday! This was an important class for us with both Jimmyhank Pizza and NEPA Pizza Review on set and we wanted to capture some professional content during the live show. He’s probably best known for his work on the local music scene, but for me he’s the best in the food game as well! True professional, easy to work with, and does great work! Highly recommend!

Scenes from our live class!

This class was one for the ages from a production standpoint!

Typically in a Virtual Pizza Academy class, we designate one Jim as the instructor and the other Jim is the producer. In this class we alternated back and forth while showing each of the various Urban Slicer Pizza Worx pizza dough mixes.

It took a ton of planning and preparation behind the scenes to get this organized as well as some spontaneous audibles on the fly to make sure we kept the action moving!

Huge thanks to Keith Perks of Keith Perks (the photographer and artist I trust most for awesome pizza projects) for shooting this class! Can't wait to see the pics!

Thank you to Matt Frampton, owner of Urban Slicer for entrusting us with your products and for the opportunity to create something that we hope added a lot of value to our students. You gave us the ball and let us run with it. We felt your passion for helping others make epic pizza and breaking down the barrier to entry in making pies at home. Your support and belief in us was motivation and fuel to bring this live show to life!

And to our students, thank you always for taking time out of your busy schedules to join us and participate like crazy during class! You motivate us, you encourage us, you tell us how to get better, and we appreciate you! Stay in touch - we want to be a part of your pizza journey!

See you again soon!

Making some gluten-free pizza dough prepping for class tonight.

In virtual Pizza Academy, we meticulously plan and stage are those to make sure that people at home can actually see every stage of the dough process in Pizza making process so we have those that are ready at different stages so what does it look like in the mixer? What does it look like when it comes out of the mixer? What does it look like after it’s done proofing? What does it look like when you press it out we answer all of those questions and demonstrate that for you.

This may seem like a small detail, but it helps our students shorten their learning curve and more quickly make epic pizza. What’s up, brother?
